Youkoso!!

Minna-san!! Konnichiwa!! How are you to day? I hope your fine!!

You remember what we have learnt last time? The "Janai" thing I told you that the negative form of "desu" is "janai" & both of them have a past form "Datta" & "janakatta" .I told you also that the next lesson (This lesson) will be about the interrogative form but I changed my mind because it's too easy All what you have to do is to add the particle "ka" at the end of the sentence Like this:

Focus!!

Some people may ask me "Where is the pronoun ( I )? Why didn't you put (Watashi wa)?"

Good question!! Well When both of the speaker & the listener know what or who are we talking about there is no need to add pronouns But you can add them at the beginning of the sentence when you think that maybe the other people won't understand you well Like this:"Watashi wa ringo ga suki desu" = "I like apple""Kare wa niku ga kirai desu" = "He don't like meat"

The Rule!! Finally

Now You can tell the others what you like & what you dislike!! & that's great!! All what you have to do is to memorise this:

"Thing Ga suki desu" "Thing Ga kirai desu"

To say "I love something" or "I hate something" you just add "Dai" after "ga" like that:

Japanese Language Translations. Also a small section on translations from the Inuyasha Anime for names, Weapons, and other things. If you would like to add a word or need any extra words added just let me know. I would like to expan this small "dictionary".

Online Dictionaries:Japanese to English [and Vice Versa] [link]Eudict.com [Can also translate many other languages] - [link]

Remember that the past tense ends always with the sound "tta" even in verbs conjugation & we will see it very soon in a lesson dedicated to verbs!!

The Rule!! Finally

So You must know the rule after we have seen the example!! It's just like the first one with "desu"!! just put "janai" instead of it!! So there is no need to tell you!!

Now!! Guess what!! It's YOUR TURN!!!

Okay!! I'm gonna see if you have understood!! Get ready!!...

If you could translate this sentence that means that you have understood!!

This is not a dog!! This is a cat!!Kanojo-tachi wa kirei janai!!

It must be easy!! Isn't it? Now try to make your own examples using words from the previous lesson!! ( Oh!! Please!! Do it for me!! Pleaaaaase!!)

BONUS!!! : Do it like this!!

Today I'm going to teach you something that is very useful!! The word "Sou"!!!You can translate that word by "That way" or "Like this" Here are some expressions that Japanese people say a lot using that word:

"Sou desu" or sometimes they say "Sou da": That's right, That's it, Right on, There you go!!"Sou desu ne?": That's right. I agree. (litt. It's like that isn't it?)"Sou datta": That was it !! Now I remember!!"Sou ne": Alright!! Okay!! (I hear this a lot in animes!!)"Sou desu ka?": Oh really? Is it true?

& if you look well you will see that we know all the words used in these sentences!! you remember...right? "desu"..."datta"...& the tag question "ne"...If you try to translate each word...you will find that the meaning is nearly the same!! look!! "Sou datta"...

"Sou" means "Like that" & "datta" means "was"...so..."sou"+"datta"= "it was like that"!! & I told you that "sou datta" means "that was it!!"See?!! Japanese language is so easy to learn!! & it's so much fun!! (I really enjoy saying "sou da" like do people in anime do *Kurosaki Ichigo*!! specially when no one understand me!! XD)

Sayonara!!!

Pleaaaase!!Revise this lesson very well!! please!! the next one will be related to this!!

Well It's time to say "Sayonara"!! I hope that today's lesson is not very long!! But I promise you!! The next one will be very easy!!

NEXT LESSON!!

The next one will be about turning a "desu/janai" sentence into a question!! Believe me!! It's very simple!! See you next time!!
